“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …

I’ve loved Barbra Streisand my entire life and never have I seen her happier than when she married James Brolin a decade or so ago. In ways, she’s been almost giddy, and as a fan, that’s fun to see. As Barbra says in the liner jacket for …
